Arris Rails

More Information

Arris Rails are used in the construction of Palisade or Closeboard Fencing. They can also be used as an alternative to a square sawn rails or half round rails for Post and Rail fencing.

The rails are made from 75mm X 75mm posts sawn diagonally to make 2 x triangular Arris rails. they can be supplied in lengths to suit the bay sizes required, ranging from 1.8m (6′) to 3.6m (12′). Arris Rails are supplied either ended for use with mortised posts or unended for use with Arris Rail Repair Brackets.

We would not recommend the use of 3.6m (12′) bays unless it cannot be avoided. The rails can sag excessively. Using 2 stumps can help.

Sometimes Arris need to be cut down to make a short or part bay. This can be easily done with either a saw or anvil. The picture on the Closeboard Materials help sheet shows Arris that have been re-ended with a saw.
